•Adjust the sound settings.
(see page 17).
Poor picture
•Press the COLOUR SYSTEM button to select
another colour system. (see page 8).
•Adjust the picture settings. (see page 17).
• Is a component signal output device, such
as a DVD player, connected correctly?
(see page 5).
• Is the VIDEO-2 SET function setting correct?
(see page 14).
• If noise (snow) totally blocks out the
picture, check the following.
- Have the TV and aerial been connected
properly?
- Has the aerial cable been damaged?
- Is the aerial pointing in the right direction?
- Is the aerial itself faulty?
• If the TV or aerial suffer interference from
other equipment, stripes or noise may
appear in the picture. Move any equipment
which can cause interference away from the
TV.
• If the TV or aerial suffer interference from
signals reflecting from mountains or
buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will
occur. Change the aerial’s direction or
replace it with an aerial with better
directionality.
• When a white and bright still image (such
as a white dress) is displayed on the screen,
the white part may look as if it is coloured.
When the image disappears from the screen,
the unnatural colours will also disappear.
The picture is tilted
<AV-29V311/AV-29V331 only>
•A picture may be tilted due to the influence
of the earth’s magnetism. In this case, use
the PICTURE TILT function to adjust the tilt.
(see page 13).
